Tires Continental or Kumho

I have ASX's and for the most part they're pretty nice. I like how quiet they are and they have decent grip, only real problem I have with them is the sidewalls like to flex alot if you drive spirited, but if you dont really care about that and just want a good all around tire that does pretty damn well in the rain I would say they're a great choice.

Well, about time I updated this: I went with the Kumho SPT's and have been pleased with them so far. Good traction in the dry, nice and stable in the wet, and they are very quiet compared to the Potenzas I had previously, so that's good. Two things I've noticed with them though: They are not quite as stable on uneven pavement, as they move from side to side a little more than the previous tires. Also, I haven't been able to hit the same kinds of fuel mileage as the old tires.

The conti's stretch pretty hard, and I liked them when I ran em on the ginster.

I am currenlty running 235/40/18 tires on 8.5 wide rims all around. I don't know if it's just me but the car feel a lot smoother now

the Contis are awesome in the dry and wet (and snow). Will defintely buy those again.

I had them in 245 40 17 on my GTI. I thought they were great! A little loud, but they are cheap tires so I didnt care. I used them as track tires and they wear like iron, and grip very well once hot.

A good option for budget minded summer tires is the Kumho SPT. Long life treadwear rating and decent performance at a great price.

Just put 'em on this weekend. ASA AR2 18x8 wheels from the Tire Rack. Tires are Kumho SPT. They look great in person, especially for the money.

I have had both, and can honestly say that I will not buy the Kumho's again. There is nothing wrong with them, but they are definately not what I would classifiy as a "performance" tire. They have a very nice, and have a quiet and comfortable ride. They just don't stick like a good performance tire should .

I am running 205-50-15's Kumho and it is horrible!!! Luckily these tires I had laying around and no "real" money was spent on them...
